Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-piece floor marker comprising a base plate, a removable cover plate and a cover plate fixing member, wherein the height of the floor marker can be varied by inserting an intermediate member and a method of changing the height of a floor marker.
  • Ground marking elements can be used for marking the course of the road or as a road boundary and can there perceive a visual and audible warning function.
  • the most equipped with a reflector or a lighting element marking elements are anchored in the asphalt and can be perceived visually by the road users, for example by reflection of the light striking them or acoustically, for example, by the sound when driving over noise.
  • the road user is shown on the one hand the road and on the other he is warned when leaving the intended course.
  • WO 2011/158004 describes a pavement marker applied to the road, the pavement marker comprising a housing and a partially transparent material disposed so as to prevent at least a portion of the sunlight falling on the pavement marker from entering the housing. Thereby, the temperature inside the road marking element is kept within a range in which the internal electronic components of the marking element function according to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • WO 2016/016604 discloses a marking element comprising a light source located below the floor. The light beam is thereby directed so that it exits through a window in the upper region of the marking element.
  • WO 2014/111541 A1 discloses a modular light-emitting container with a lighting device that actively emits light, such as required for airport runways.
  • WO 2011/009189 A1 describes floor marking elements which have a robust construction and which are suitable for regions where snowploughs are frequently used.
  • the Bodenmark istsetti have to active lighting devices that require a power supply on.
  • US 4,617,616 discloses a ground marker for runways at airports equipped with an actively operated light source.
  • the problem arises that the ground marking element sinks over time in the road surface and thus loses its warning function. This can be done, for example, by the load passing over motor vehicles or by a soak of the road surface, as observed in particular in countries with high solar radiation.
  • the floor marking element according to the invention comprises a reversibly removable cover plate. Under removable in the sense of the present invention is a damage-free and reversible separation of the base and cover plate to understand.
  • the height of the ground marking element according to the invention relates to the dimension starting from the road surface to the highest point of the ground marking element.
  • the height of the ground marking element according to the invention can be changed by introducing an intermediate element.
  • the floor marking element according to the invention further comprises at least one intermediate element which is arranged between the base plate and the cover plate.
  • the intermediate element By introducing the intermediate element between the base plate and the cover plate, the loss of height, which is caused for example by sinking of the Bodenmarkleiterselements in the pavement, be compensated without the complete Bodenmarkleiterselement must be replaced.
  • more than one intermediate element can be used, for example, to compensate for repeated loss of height.
  • the height of the intermediate element may vary. In a preferred embodiment, however, the height of the intermediate element is at least 5 mm, preferably at least 7 mm and particularly preferably at least 10 mm. In a special preferred embodiment, the intermediate element has a height in the range of 7 to 25 mm, preferably 10 to 20 mm.
  • the ground marking element according to the invention further comprises a reflector element which is mounted on the cover plate.
  • the reflector element may be, for example, an element equipped with retroreflective glass elements, preferably a strip provided with retroreflective glass elements.
  • the reflector element is made of a flexible material, which in particular has a good bondability and a high UV and heat resistance.
  • reflector films or prismatic plastic reflectors can be used. Reflector elements with retroreflective glass elements have proven to be advantageous because they are particularly resistant to corrosion and weathering, but at the same time also long-lasting reflective. This is particularly advantageous in regions with high heat and solar radiation.
  • the Bodenmark istselement exclusively one or more passive (s) retroreflective element (s).
  • the passive retroreflective elements are preferably the aforementioned reflector elements.
  • the ground marking element according to the invention usually has no active return elements, such as lamps, lamps, etc., on.
  • the ground marking element according to the invention as well as the intermediate element is exposed to strong environmental influences as well as a high mechanical load.
  • the floor marking element according to the invention and / or the intermediate element are made of an alloy, preferably a casting alloy, in particular of an aluminum casting alloy.
  • suitable alloys for example, standard alloy 239D; EN AC-43400 - AlSi10Mg or 226D; EN AC 46000 - GD-ALSi9Cu3.
  • the invention is / are Ground marking element and / or the intermediate element made of another suitable, advantageously weather-resistant material.
  • Alternative materials may be polymers.
  • Preferably used polymer materials are selected from the group of thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers.
  • the polymer materials are particularly preferably glass or carbon fiber reinforced, UV stabilized and / or impact modified.
  • Exemplary materials are glass fiber reinforced polyamide as well as polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylic-butadiene-styrene copolymer and polyoxymethylene.
  • Floor marking elements are usually used as marking of roads, where it can not be avoided that they are overrun by the traffic. For these cases, the ground marking element should provide a low attack surface so as not to be an unnecessary source of danger. On the other hand, driving over the marking element should not go unnoticed, otherwise it loses its additional warning function.
  • both conditions can be combined with one another if the ground marking element has a round shape. Therefore, the ground marking element according to the invention is round in a preferred embodiment. Particularly preferably, both the base plate, the cover plate and the intermediate element have a circular basic shape.
  • the floor marking element according to the invention has a diameter of at least 70 mm, preferably at least 100 mm, particularly preferably at least 120 mm. Very particular preference is given to an embodiment in which the diameter is in the range of 70 to 250 mm. It has surprisingly been found that a diameter in the claimed range achieves an optimum between force distribution and the necessary amount of adhesive for installation on the road surface.
  • the cover plate has a bevelled edge region, wherein the angle of the bevel is preferably 15 to 45 °, particularly preferably 25 to 35 °, wherein the angle is determined relative to the normal to the road surface. It became surprising found that such an embodiment has a lower degree of contamination. At the same time reflector elements which are arranged on the beveled edge region, an optimal light reflection.
  • the reflector element which is arranged on the cover plate, adapted to its shape, that is bent. It has surprisingly been found that the curved reflector shape provides a higher night visibility of the ground marking element, especially in curves, and generally better visibility for all ground marking elements which have a large lateral distance from the roadway.
  • the base plate has a retaining pin with which the base plate is secured in the pavement.
  • the support pin preferably has the form of an anchor bolt, which is located on the side facing the pavement of the base plate.
  • the base plate can thus be fixed by means of the anchor bolt through a hole in the pavement on this, preferably by the additional use of an adhesive.
  • base plate and retaining pin are designed in one piece.
  • the base plate has recesses on the side facing the road surface. It has surprisingly been found that the fastening of the base plate can be improved by these recesses, since they provide a sufficiently large contact surface for the bonding of the base plate on the pavement, but at the same time sufficient bearing surface to the compressive forces that occur, for example, when rolling over.
  • base plate on the cover plate facing side and / or the cover plate on the base plate side facing at least one ribbing, wherein the rib structure to Longitudinal ribbing, cross ribbing, transverse ribbing or honeycomb ribbing can act.
  • a honeycomb ribbing is particularly preferred.
  • the intermediate element has a honeycomb ribbing on at least one side.
  • the intermediate element on both sides of a honeycomb ribbing.
  • the intermediate element on the base plate side facing dome and honeycomb ribs, while the base plate has the corresponding grooves and pockets, or vice versa is particularly preferred.
  • the intermediate element on the cover plate facing side grooves and pockets, while the cover plate has the corresponding dome and honeycomb ribbing, or vice versa is particularly preferred.
  • the dome are designed positively. It was surprisingly found that the mechanical stability of the floor marking element according to the invention could be markedly improved by this additional reinforcement.
  • the domes preferably have a diameter of 6 to 35 mm, preferably 8 to 18 mm.
  • the dome has a height in the range of 3 to 15 mm, more preferably 5 to 10 mm.
  • the shaping slope preferably has a value in the range of 3 to 10 °, preferably 5 to 8 °.
  • the ribs of the honeycomb ribbing preferably have a width of at least 1.5 mm, preferably a width in the range of 1.5 to 10 mm. Further preferred is an embodiment in which the ribs of the honeycomb ribbing have a height of at least 2 mm, preferably a width in the range of 2 to 7 mm. It has surprisingly been found that by ribs with the claimed dimensions an optimal pressure distribution and a positive connection can be achieved.
  • the floor marking element according to the invention has at least one cover plate fastening element.
  • the cover plate fastening element is a screw, in particular a self-tapping screw.
  • the height of the floor marking element according to the invention can thus be adapted without the complete module having to be replaced and without manipulation of the base plate being necessary.
